When the cooks discover that the cream has gone sour, Vatel whips it with some sugar and orders the servers to present it as "a new version of Chantilly cream". This is a nod to the real Francois Vatel being falsely credited as having invented Chantilly cream while serving as the maître d'hôtel of Château de Chantilly. Flavored, sweetened whipped cream had been around for about a hundred years prior, while the first ever record of the term "Chantilly Cream" itself did not occur until the mid 1700's, approximately one hundred years after the film's setting.
